Canopy Campfire: How Is AI Changing Your Life?
AI is changing how we work, create, communicate, learn and make decisions.

Join us for the next Canopy Campfire, an open and participatory conversation exploring how AI is affecting our lives — positively, negatively and in ways we may not yet fully understand.
This isn't a traditional panel discussion.
Four chairs. Three experts. One empty seat.
We'll begin with three invited experts taking their places around the Campfire. Each will share their perspective on how AI is affecting their work, their lives and the world around them.

There will always be four chairs but only three people sitting in them.
If you're in the audience and have something to contribute, simply get up and take the empty chair.
When you join the Campfire, one of the existing participants will return to the audience, creating another empty chair for someone else.
Another person can then join. Someone else steps out.
And the conversation keeps moving.
No long speeches. No permanent panel. No division between the people with something to say and the people expected to listen.
The rotation continues until we've exhausted the topic — or the hour is up!
We all have something to learn. We all have something to share.
